Thanks for the info. I am always curious when someone says this is better than that.
How do you know what is inside the Noise Destoyer.
They just came in from Germany ?
Did you buy one and take it apart ? |
Krell man. Wow, interesting. I have seen the most improvement on my HD TV.
Do you have yours plugged into a outlet that the TV shares ? |
Krell man,
I have mine plugged into my Hydra 8 in a outlet that my Sony HD Shares. My Audio is on different circuits.
Everything matters in Audio and probably Video.
With my Video set up ,I am using Quick Silver Extreme Gold contact Silver paste on all my connections (F connectors, AC plugs, etc. )
My HDMI cables have silver conductors.
My Hydra 8 is on a dedicated circuit.
So, perhaps all this has allowed the Noise Destroyer to bring out additional information.
Everything matters, there is a marked difference with the Noise Destoyer on my set up. |
I agree it really should be plugged into the same wall outlet as the Hydra 8.
However, that wall duplex outlet(wattgate) is also used with my APL 3910 which I do not plug directly into the Hydra.
By plugging the Noise Destoyer into the the Hydra's first outlet (closest to the IEC jack), I believe that outlet has a direct path to the incoming signal from the wall. Thus helping to reduce the noise going into the Hydra.
The second Noise Destoyer is plugged into another dedicated outlet with my Amp.
I did notice that with using the Quick silver Gold paste on the Video connections, even more improvement is noted on the Video. |
Well I just tried the (ND) Noise Destroyer on the wall duplex outlet with the Hydra 8 plugged into the other ,and the Sony HD is still plugged into the first outlet in the Hydra 8.
The result: HD TV not as good as plugging the ND into the first duplex outlet in the Hydra with the Sony HD plugged into the other.
The difference is quite remarkable.
Perhaps the improvements I am seeing is with the Sony HD and the Hydra outlet being isolated from the other outlets, in the Hydra 8 it is concentrating all the ND energy into that one duplex outlet.
So,one ND will remain in the first outlet on my Hydra 8 and my other ND will go into the wall outlet that my APL 3910 is plugged into.
I plan on purchasing a couple more and will play with additional placements with my Amp outlet, etc. |
I tried plugging the Noise Destoyer into the same dedicated outlet that my APL Player is plugged into.
For over a week I couldnt figure out what had happened to the treble and the dynamics.
I blamed it on the Quick Silver Gold paste I used on my connections.
It turns out it was the Noise Destoyer . It was sucking out the treble and there was an apparant loss of dyanmics.
Once I removed it and put it on a circuit with only Video the treble returned along with dynamics.
I have ordered a couple of Alan Maher Power Enhancers and I wonder if that will have the same effect? |
My PE order from Allan Maher was sent out last Friday after waiting several weeks. I ordered 2 of them.
I hope to have them within the next few days.
After the Noise Destoyer experience and knowing that Alan Maher units also take about a week to break in , I may put them on a Video only circuit for the first week before trying them in my Audio system. |
Jen, chill...
I received the units today, thank you.
I wasn't really complaining about the wait and I do not think it was a gross exaggeration. It took several weeks to get it.
Thanks for the info on installing the unit. |
Sherod,
I sure will keep you guys updated.
Leica man ,
I think the Noise Destoyer depends on where you place it.
I have 3 dedicated lines.
One for my APL 3910 digital Player , one for my Amp, a Pass Labs x 350.5 and one for my Hydra 8 which all my other Video stuff is plugged into.
On my dedicated line with just my APL 3910 on it the Noise Destoyer was way too much, killed dynamics and Treble (air).
On my first outlet on my Hydra with my Video on the same outlet it works great, video colors and definition is greatly improved.
I am going to try the Allen Maher unit on the same Digital outlet as I tried with the Noise Destoyer and will place another one on my dedicated oulet with my Pass Labs Amp.
I'll give them a week of break in.
For what this is worth , the Noise Destoyer and the Allem Maher units are phyically different. The Allen Maher unit is about twice the size of the Noise Destoyer, but the Noise Destoyer costs twice as much. |
I just posted a review of the Alan Maher PE units under Accessories AC Filter. I hope it gets posted. |
Stringreem, You are so right! I just removed all the Alan Maher and Noise Destoyer units and everything sounds much better.
I suppose it matters how your electrical power is in your home and area as to if these types of units are a benefit.
They help on Video , but suppress Audio dynamics and high frequencies |
Thanks, but I hate my brother in law. |
